See if you have an Aalco branch near to you - they can cut to size usually.

Hellish expensive to buy new. Try the scrappy I got some 25mm ally plate with a few tapped holes in it I was able to work around and saved £50 to boot!

Wow! That's one chunky chunk of ali!!! Going to cost!! Even a little bit of 5mm sheet for my TPS adaptor cost enough to make me wince!!

try the auto jumble at either Rufforth near york this sat or the one at Newark which is on 14 Dec , dont know where you are tho whether it is worth the trip but there are always stalls at both selling off cuts of ali all shapes n sizes
